There may come a time when we will not need to write to each other. Some day, some dreadful day, may dawn when we shall be able to see what others are thinking and have no need to write. But that day has not come yet. Let us make the most of our respite and teach the children how to spell. Spelling 1s necessary only because we must write messages to one an- other, we must read.the books that are printed and we must print them if we are to read them. We simply have to keep on spelling. But it is for the written and printed word we need the spelling book. I make a strong point of the written spelling because some parents and teachers seem to think that writing a spelling lesson is the last thing a child is to do. They hear him spell instead of seeing him spell. A child can spell a list of words orally and not be able to write ha'f of them correctly when he is asked to do so or when he has need to do so. He can learn a list of words and write them as a list correctly, get 100 per cent, and then, whiie his 100 per cent is still warm under his hand, he will write the same words incorrectly in the body of & note. “Such carelessness! says the grieved grownup. It is neither. Learning to spell orally, learning to spell in a list, learning to spell in the body of a letter or in a composition are three different things, though they are related. The way to Disgraceful!” able, happy homes. spelled is to let him write them in daily usage. We do not speil things to each other and we do not write lists of words to each other. The dif- ferent situation makes the difference to_the child. Then, instead of having the child write lists of words, let him write a connected story, using the words. A list is a quick way of testing one kind of spelling, but it is not the most im- portant kind. Nor does the correct list mean that the child can actually spell those words correctly. The older children learn their spell- ing by seemg the words in their text books. Reading teaches spelling after | the child’s eye has been trained to see letters, his ear to hear them and his hand to torm them. Little children will not learn to spell by reading They will learn only when carefully taught through eye and ear and hand. And then they must be permitted to use the words as they ouzht to he used or they will not learn to spell correctly. Spelling matches are good fun and | they help the ear training of the child. Lists of words help save th teacher’s time and impress the form on the child’s mind, but the wor must be written in a text if the spell ing is 10 truly function. Perhaps that is why John James got 60 in spelling last Thursday. Maybe the her changed the | method of recitation and asked him | to write those words in a story she gave him. John James will need practice. Mr. Patri will give personal attention to inquiries from parents and teachers on the care and development of children.

The very first wrinkles will most likely appear around the eyes. They must never be confused with the few necessary lines our grandmothers call- ed laughing wrinkles, lines that even faces of children have caused by the natural contraction of the muscles when the eyes smile or laugh. The very earliest wrinkles sometimes radi- | ate’ from the outside corners of the | eyes, a dozen or more, like the sticks of a fan; sometmies from the inside of the eyes radiating down over the nose, re due to iliness, coming from the in- gide of the eyes in deep creases be- neath them that go out over the cheek. You must decide first whether yvour kin is ofly dry, and if it is dry it may | need mnothing more than to have a really good skin food massaged in thoroughly every night, with a gener- ous amount left on the surface of the skin to be absorbed during sleep. But if the skin is oily you may need a strong astringent to contract these weak muscles and only enough skin food to counteract the drying effect of the astringent. Here's a formula for an excellent old-fashioned astringent which is said to have been used by the eighteenth century beauties of France and which was frequentiy called “Water of Youth To make it, boil four ounces of pearl barley in a pint of water until you consider the whole thoroughly well cooked (keep the an covered to hold in the steam). Strain this and add 30 drops of tncture of benzoin to the barley water, This can be patted all over the skin where the wrinkles are forming without any fear of using too much of it. You can use it night and morning if you like. Any sort of wrinkle treatment is most valuably assisted by ice rubs; there ix nothing more stimulating to the skin than the cold wet shock of a piece of jce rubbed over and over the complexion. Mrs. C. E. P.—Olive oil will relieve the dryness of your scalp, but it is not enough of a treatment to rid you of the dandruff.

This scientific prepara- tion will neutralize any acidity and dissolve all dandruff if there is any. And it always gives the hair itself a lovely softness and sheen. It will wave better, hold a wave longer and behave better all the time if you just occasionally apply a few drops of Danderine. Try it! Every drug, store has this perfect conditioner of the scalp and hair, and a thirty-five- cent bottle lasts for weeks. Danderine of the ‘old maid” ? YOU know the girl we mean. She wasn't precisely old. But you couldn’t call her young, either. She did her hair and wore her clothes just as they used to years back when she was still in high school. Prim and staid as a little Jenny Wren she looked. Decent and durable and respectable— but not a bit attractive,' not a bit lovable! Her ideas were old, too And her ideas were as out of date as her funny, old-fashioned frocks and bonnets! She was always getting shocked at the harmless but, perhaps, noisy vagaries of the rising generation. Poor thing! She was just anywhere from five to fifteen years behind the procession! Not a mite of reason for it, cither! Being an old maid isn’t 2 mateer of age. It’s a state of mind. A closed, backward-looking, hopeless state of mind! Girls today love Youth! Girls nowadays don't let themsclves get that way. They love interesting new things! They love beauty! They love Youth!
